Wire up the 7-segment LED

“

- [Narrator] Alright, so now let's go through the wiring of the shift register to the seven-segment LED. I'm going to follow the wiring according to this table. So on top, you can see the pin letter and the pin number of the shift register and the corresponding pin letter and the pin number of the seven-segment LED on the bottom. So you can choose to connect the seven segment differently but you need to consider this, in programming the Arduino board, so the most significant bit and the least significant bit. This wiring is for the most significant bit first. Alright, so the first one, we need to connect pin number seven from the shift register to pin number seven and the seven-segment LED. Okay, so the very first thing that I'd like to do is to make sure that since we're using a common anno disk to get the common pins connected. So the middle one goes to five volts DCC and the bottom common pin goes to five volt as well.…
